We did the morning session, arriving a bit early we were given coffee and a board of yummy nibbles that we enjoyed out the front (please see photo with cute cat who joined us!). The class was such a great experience, our host Amina was super lovely and did a great job taking us through each step of the recipes.

3.Bosnian Traditional Handicraft, half-day – do it yourself – Coppersmith Workshop

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 13 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $72

Shape your own Bosnian coffee pot in Sarajevo’s historic coppersmith quarter with a patient local artisan and small-group instruction.

“The coppersmith workshop was absolutely fantastic, we have just finished it this afternoon. Unfortunately Funky tours is a third party involved in the booking and they are completely incompetent, but the coppersmith host is amazing and we had such a great time with her. If you book with funky tours, double check your booking confirmation with them as they have no idea what's going on. If you can choose this tour elsewhere with another company that also uses this same female coppersmith (she is the only female in her profession), then I'd recommend booking it with the other company.”
